"In answer to your enquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be
religion without the Holy Ghost;
Christianity without Christ;
forgiveness without repentance;
salvation without regeneration;
politics without God;
and Heaven without Hell."
- William Booth, Founder if The Salvation Army - 5 January 1901

William Booth walked with God in the power of the Spirit. There was no "as long as" in HIS love and commitment to Jesus. His words are prophetic and we slog through that very pit of bubble gum religion in America today!
Let's pull together and follow Jesus without reservation ! He is Lord and worthy of our all right here, right now... Every day!

I think there are a lot of modern day Christians living out their faith as if they are going to work while sick. You know... just showing up or getting by is an accomplishment on those days. Booth's list would be a great diagnosis of the sickness. Thanks for posting!
